|
|
+These commands are focused mostly on searching and finding something quickly, using the manual as a reference rather than as a tutorial. This includes searching text in a manual, searching the index of a manual, chosing a menu subtopic by its number, create an info buffer in emacs and the emacs info variables to modify the behavior of Emacs Info.
